  • Patent number: 4751751
    Abstract: A disposable urinating funnel for females comprises a thin, paper-like sheet which is folded in half to form two overlapping sections whose free edges are connected together and are tapered toward the fold line to form a funnel-like shape. The upper edges of the funnel-shape are curved to cover a female vaginal area, and the opposite, bottom edges form a spout-like portion. Score lines are formed midway between the fold line and connected side edges in each of the sections and extend upwardly from the bottom of the spout-forming portion toward the upper end of the funnel-like shape. Manually squeezing the fold line and connected side edges toward each other causes the otherwise flat funnel-like shape to open, by bowing the sections apart along the score lines. In addition, the tapered, connected-together edges are cut along a shallow curve which permits the funnel to be used with the fold line forwardly or rearwardly for selectively directing the flow of liquid through it.
